Currently, business decisions should be taken carefully, using all the available information, and with a complete understanding of the business objectives. A private school has profits as its ultimate objective; however, quantifying the impact of the achievement of lower level objectives (for instance, academic or environmental objectives), on the ultimate objective, is a difficult task. Nevertheless, any alternative should be rated in terms of the ultimate objective, so it is necessary first to evaluate its impact on the lower-level objectives and then to map this impact on the ultimate objective. This requires a thorough analysis and structuring of objectives. Here, based on Keeney’s Value-Focused Thinking approach, we develop a model which fulfils those requirements, for evaluating the feasibility of a waste water treatment plant at a privateowned school. The usage of the model is illustrated for a case-model school, finishing with a sensitivity analysis.
